Diamond Rings and Females

[babyik]

Look out for diamond water paradox

@Greenman72

Three months salary on an old-ass piece of coal is stupid. I bought my wife a fake, and she knows it. We both thought that it was better to spend the money on something substantial than a piece of ice.

nah, brah I plan to put in 3 mo. for a rock when the right dime crosses my path

WTF is the alure to diamond rings with females!? What fuggin kills me is the diamond is a stone. Like the quartz stone you find on the ground, a diamond is simply that, a stone. Furthermore, it’s not a rare valuable stone it’s made out to be. DeBeers has a near monoply on the minds yielding the best looking diamond rocks which allows them to artificially restrict supply increaseing the price.

Coupla real questions;

1. Guys get the commitment aspect of a diamond ring. The symbolism of marriage and forever are embedded within. Now, science has allowed other rocks to look like diamonds for a fraction of the cost. Why do females through a b!tchfit when the topic of synthetic/CZ/etc come up as a substitute for a nice looking diamond ring?? See the movie Blood Diamond.

2. You women get it all twisted with marriage. You constantly think of the wedding only. What a great way to start a life together; deep in debt from all the sunk costs of overpriced rock, the $5k dress, the $100k dinner/dance/reception, etc. I am all about a traditional ceremony and reception, but let’s keep it real. Money is the crux of most marital problesm, so why would you start a marriage potentially deep in debt!?

Size matters. Despite what you hear/read in Cosmo/Men’sHealth, it’s all about the size. Rock size that is. Rest assured her family and friends will only approve of you when they see you broke the bank to buy a big oversized rock for her to show off. That sum burned on the rock could have made a nice downpayment on a home, fund the future kid’s college education, or even enjoy a couple of extra honeymoons. I pray someday I’ll find a Buffettesque female who wants the sexiest CZ there is and spend the difference on a swankier honeymoon, bigger home, and bank cushion.

It would be nice for us financiers if there was such a thing as a liquid market for these rocks so we could have a proxy when we are thinking of plunking down 3 months salary. These days that’s like $100k for some of us!

Men buy diamond watches as well…

but truth be told, i think diamonds are pretty but i think it’s a waste of money as well. it’s not a rare stone and it’s all marketing. perhaps if you buy something over 5 karrots they are considered rare and may hold up value.

i’d rather live in a nicer place or eat better or travel. that’s just me.

Only 99.995% of women like diamonds.

I am not married so it doesn’t apply to me. But I’ve noticed in other countries women tend to wear simple wedding bands, and it’s just looks more elegant imo. Not so much in your face like the rings with diamonds.

Then again, think of how many vacations you can take with the money saved! Just need to ignore what others think

I’ve never seen any of my friends get more than 3 Karats … 3 Karats with good clarity/cut/color is pretty baller

I am not saying i would buy a 5 karat diamond or expect to receive one for engagement.

Like i said, diamond is pretty, but it is not high on my list.

Saying all women like diamond rings is like saying all men want a Rolex. Of course no one is going to say no, if they get it as a gift, but hardly a goal in life for most.
